You know what I can't stand? In those movies and TV shows when people get arrested and are talking too much or defending themselves and the police bitterly tells them, as if to say "SHUT UP!" "You have the right to remain silent." I am like are people dumb?? Do they not realize that just because you say that, doesn't mean the other person has to stop talking, nor does it mean "Shut up" like the movies/TV shows make it sound? The police officers say it so snobbily and then the person they are arresting is like *shuts up*. It makes absolutely no sense to me.

Another thing I don't like is when people think Juliet, from Romeo and Juliet, asks "Where are Romeo?" when she says "Wherefore art thou Romeo?" For example some TV show would feature people putting on that play and Juliet would be like "Wherefore art thou Romeo?" and then the Romeo actor comes out like "Here I am!" and I'm like -_- because if you think about the actual meaning, that would make no sense. I mean Juliet is talking to herself and there is no need for Romeo to intrude after that line because it actually means "Why are you Romeo?"

These things annoy me because they teach the wrong things to children who watch them. The whole right to remain silent is made as if to shut up the person getting arrested and that is so false. And the Romeo and Juliet thing makes it hard for kids to understand later on in school when they are actually getting taught the real thing. It's so confusing and pointless and can be avoided.

Rant over!

I've found I can be pretty impatient (in my mind, almost never out loud) when it comes to stupidity. Ok, that sounds mean but I really have no other way to describe it. There are stupid mistakes and then there is stupidity.

There is this girl in my math class that really bothers me. See, if she was just plain dumb, I wouldn't be as bothered by it. She isn't exactly stupid; I think it's just math that stumps her. But the fact is, when she DOES understand something, she completely goes overboard. For example, if she understands how to do a certain thing and someone doesn't, she would very loudly explain every single detail to them, and condescendingly ask them, "Do you get it NOW?" as if she knows more than them. She's done this to me and I get so irked by it because if I ever don't understand something (which happens a decent amount) and I ask, I get it pretty fast after someone explains. But she doesn't get that. She just goes on and on and on, explaining every single detail and at the very end looks at me like I'm a helpless child. Maybe that's just her personality...

And anyways sometimes I just cannot understand why SHE cannot understand something. I don't want to sound like a jerk (oops, too late eh?) but seriously I just don't understand it. I very simply explain to her that you put vectors tail to tip (our teacher has gone over that for TWO DAYS already and she understood it then) and then add them. You can move them around as long as the direction and magnitude is the same. She's heard this for two days and understood it then, but when you switch up the problem just a little bit, she's horribly confused. *Sigh* Now that I think about it, all I can say to myself is "poor girl." Look at me all frustrated with her - imagine how she must feel. She's probably SUPER frustrated. I can relate with her - sometimes in certain classes I feel so horribly lost (I don't say anything because I'm kind of an independent learner and I always catch up at home if I was lost in school) and I feel SO upset because I'm NOT used to not understanding something in class. And the girl in my math class is a good kid - she loves school - so she must also feel the same kind of frustration. I should be more sensitive towards her :( It's not her fault she can't understand it. Math is not everyone's good/favorite subject! I need to stop being so intolerant...

I think I may have ironically contradicted myself a bunch of times in this post...
